SID's are all the same

Hi. This is more of an NT question. I have tried this before and it did not work for me or my boss either. We also tried using I believe it is called Norton Ghost Walker which can change the SID. This did not work either and we had to reinstall eachone seperately. Sorry but I think you may need to start over. Try setting up 5 or more computers at once with a hub and do 5 at a time.

The technology changes all of the time. Here is an article that explains how to do it the right way:

Or one of these tools should be able to help:

Ghost Software
Web: http://www.ghostsoft.com

Key Labs
Web: http://www.keylabs.com

NTInternals
Web: http://www.sysinternals.com

PowerQuest
Web: http://www.powerquest.com

Bottom line is I don't think you should have to re-install ;-)

Hi Geronimo,
There should be a program called Ghost Walker within Norton Ghost. Run that on each of the PCs and it will change the SID.

If you're using WIN 2000, check out

IF this is 2000, it should do it automatically. If it's NT, you would want to use ghstwalk.exe to create a new sid.

This is a freeware program to do what you need to do and it includes detailed info on how & why in case you aren't sure. This has to be one of the best support sites on the web for utilities. They've save my life a time or two.
